The first day of school is right around the corner for New Richmond students and kids are gearing up for the new year.

Classes begin the first week of September for most students with 4K and grades 1-9 beginning Sept. 1, grades 10-12 beginning Sept. 2 and kindergarten beginning Sept. 7.

To ensure a positive start to the school year, the district has scheduled an open house at each of the elementary schools on Wednesday, Aug. 31, from 9-10 a.m. The open houses are an opportunity for parents and students to wander through the schools, locate classrooms, drop off school supplies and meet the teachers.

New Richmond Middle School will also begin classes at the new middle school location on Thursday, Sept. 1.

Middle schoolers and their parents are invited to attend an open house at the school on Wednesday, Aug. 31, from 4-6 p.m. Students are encouraged to attend so that they have an understanding of where classrooms are located and who their teachers will be. A formal dedication of the building will take place at 6:30 p.m., followed by a public open house.
